Honey is a 9 year old registered Missouri Fox Trotter mare who came into the rescue today. She is very well bred and a pretty girl to boot! She is currently settling in here at the farm and we will post some more details as we get to know her, but here is the story via her previous home:

The story from her previous owners is that they brought Honey up from Missouri in March along with a few others. They said she was very sweet and affectionate when she arrived and that she was in good shape. When she was turned out with her trailer mates one of them was very aggressive and terrorized her, turning Honey into a very frightened horse very quickly.

Once moved into her own pen she turned back into her sweet self. So she will need her own space or non-aggressive pasture mates in her new home so as to keep her happy.

She is well-broke to ride and knows her job, but has not been ridden very much so will need a bit of a refresher. Her previous owner said she was a bit too forward for their 9 year old and that she didn't have the skills herself to work with her under-saddle, but believes that she could be a beginner horse with a bit more time under-saddle. For now, she is best suited to an intermediate plus rider.

She has no vices, though her feet are currently short as they were trimmed a bit much in order to deal with some cracks due to them not being properly maintained in her prior home, so she will need a chance to grow those out again before being ridden regularly.

Her owners surrendered her as they already have their own horses and cannot afford to keep her. As well they felt she deserves a person of her own who can give her the time and attention that she needs. She can be much more than just a pasture mate.

Thanks to donations we were able to take this girl in and she has been sponsored!

She is located in Maple Ridge and comes with her papers. Her adoption fee is $500. Contact us today if you are interested!
